Protest anti-abortion laws — Buffalo

Activists from the Western New York Resistance Revival Chorus, Western New York Peace Center, New York Abortion Access Fund and Workers World Party gathered May 14 in Bidwell Park in Buffalo, N.Y.  They were there in solidarity with people affected by the recent wave of anti-abortion legislation passed in several states, most recently in Alabama.

Speakers pointed out that laws that criminalize those who have abortions and those who provide them are a way to disenfranchise poor people and generate more prison labor. The rally drew support from commuters and passersby — some of whom joined in.
